I think this is actually the case by default in Edgy, because of the
UIDs in fstab. However, this can easily be corrected to get back to a
working system. I'm unclear why you would want to do this. Ubuntu is
(mostly) based on the principles
(http://www.ubuntu.com/community/ubuntustory/philosophy) of free and
open source software, which hold (among other things) that this kind of
reuse is desirable. I don't see anyway you could reliably do this. If
you're worried about people stealing your drive content (including
personal data), you should look into physical and electronic security
measures.
